King On the Mountain
Success begets success
Until on the peak or mountain top
I dare defend my spot
An unexpected wind
Brings unpredictable weather
And I reluctantly come down
Knowing I must bend to the elements
Even the king on the mountain
Soon leaves the pinnacle
Grateful to kiss the earth below
And be one of us.
